MarcusE1WI really like my new (used) ARM laptop <a href="https://functional.cafe/tags/thinkpadx13s" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#thinkpadx13s</a> with Linux. A big step from my previous <a href="https://functional.cafe/tags/pinebookpro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#pinebookpro</a> in snappyness.<a href="https://functional.cafe/tags/opensuse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#opensuse</a> and <a href="https://functional.cafe/tags/ubuntu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ubuntu</a> work really well. Ubuntu even has a no frills standard out of the box installer.<a href="https://ab.sleepymonkey.uk/blog/tinkpadx13s/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://ab.sleepymonkey.uk/blog/tinkpadx13s/</a><a href="https://functional.cafe/tags/thinkpad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#thinkpad</a>

Danct12LEGO Island (isle-portable) on the <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/PinebookPro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PinebookPro</a> at playable framerate.Thanks Anders Jenbo for the patch (<a href="https://github.com/isledecomp/isle-portable/pull/348" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://github.com/isledecomp/isle-portable/pull/348</a>)

Space HoboI was thinking about this because I realised part of the reason I can still use my <a href="https://teh.entar.net/tags/PineBookPro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PineBookPro</a> for daily stuff is that 4GB is still a perfectly serviceable amount of RAM for normal work in 2025. Yeah, you'd like more, but you can make do with it just fine.

James HelfertyBah, my <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/pinebookpro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#pinebookpro</a> seems to be experiencing some swollen battery issues. It was enough that when I took the back cover off to check, one of the screws partially let go. Unfortunately it was one of the hinge ones, which will make closing the lid more delicate going forward I fear. Really hope the consumer space gets more Linux-capable ARM laptops soon. (with US keyboard) Looking like I might need a replacement. :(

Space Hobo<a href="https://sauropods.win/@futurebird" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@futurebird</a> It's not the strangest computer I own or have access to, but it is the strangest one I use for "normal" fediverse access. It's a £100 ARM-based <a href="https://teh.entar.net/tags/PineBookPro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PineBookPro</a> I bought back when they were new, and installed <a href="https://teh.entar.net/tags/PostmarketOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PostmarketOS</a> on. It saved me in a pinch at work when I had a laptop die on me, although I definitely drove it harder than it wanted that day.I'm running absolute nerd-bait stuff on this thing: <a href="https://teh.entar.net/tags/sway" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#sway</a>, <a href="https://teh.entar.net/tags/waybar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#waybar</a>, etc. My normal laptop is straight GNOME, usually.

calcifer :nes_fire:<a href="https://masto.hackers.town/@requiem" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@requiem</a> yep! I use openbox on my <a href="https://masto.hackers.town/tags/PinebookPro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PinebookPro</a> for this reason. Mainstream browsers and “big apps” like LibreOffce are still kinda slow, but everything else is surprisingly snappy.I haven’t even been particularly minimalist about the underlying Manjaro install (like KDE Plasma is an option when I want it)

NetBSD Foundation 🚩Initial support for the USB-C port on the <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/PinebookPro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PinebookPro</a> has been committed to current - requires a custom kernel build for now.And support for user/group-based filtering has been added to the NPF firewall!

Space HoboHurg. Just upgraded my <a href="https://teh.entar.net/tags/PinebookPro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PinebookPro</a> to <a href="https://teh.entar.net/tags/PostmarketOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PostmarketOS</a> 24.12 and now I can't keep the wifi working for more than a few packets at a time. No firmware changes I can see. Maybe it's the change from iwd to wpa_supplicant? I hate broadcomm chipsets...

Joel P.<a href="https://social.linux.pizza/@selea" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@selea</a> I ran NetBSD 10 on my <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/pinebookpro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#pinebookpro</a> for a few months. Unfortunately, the hinge broke on the lid and I was unable to fix (smelled magic smoke too) 🙁 Ran well otherwise.

Danct12Ricing my <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/PinebookPro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PinebookPro</a> for fun.

It was the base configuration; a detail I missed when buying it.Most mid-range-to-high-end LCDs are IPS. Only the really cheap stuff is going to be TN, generally.

R. L. Dane (Pixelfed)Ok, now that *REALLY* sucks. <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/PinebookPro?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PinebookPro</a>

R.L. Dane :Debian: :OpenBSD: 🍵 :MiraLovesYou:Well, THAT sucks. 🤦‍♂️ <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/pinebookpro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PinebookPro</a>

Danct12Feels nice to use the <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/PinebookPro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PinebookPro</a> once again.

R.L. Dane :Debian: :OpenBSD: 🍵 :MiraLovesYou:Was thinking of getting a bigger <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/emmc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#eMMC</a> module for my <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/pinebookpro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PinebookPro</a>, but the one that was recommended was $50 for 256GiB which is a little... ridiculous.I think I'm just going to wipe the 60GiB stock eMMC with <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/pmos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#pmOS</a>, fix up the loose screws, and get a 256GB microSDXC card for extra storage.
